Show Notes

Today’s guest is Emily’s lovely friend Jemma Solomon - aka The Label Lady! Jemma is a mum of three, a former nurse, and the founder of one of the most recognisable home organisation brands in the UK. She's someone who’s built a hugely successful business from scratch - using Instagram and a whole lot of grit.

In this fun, honest, and inspiring chat, we cover everything from career changes to family life, social media pressure, and navigating renovation chaos with your partner.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

How Jemma went from NHS nurse to successful entrepreneur

The reality of running a business on social media while raising kids

What it’s really like being in the public eye (with a famous sister!)

Parenting styles, boundaries, and how she shows up for her kids

Her recent health and fitness journey - and what’s kept her motivated

Her upcoming home renovation (and whether she’s more “Pinterest plan” or “wing it”)

Encouragement for anyone thinking of making a big life change

Whether you're dreaming of starting something new or just need a good dose of real talk and motivation, Jemma brings the laughs, the insight, and a whole lot of heart.
